Posted on: September 8, 2008

Today we have Part II of our interview with cinematographer John Leonetti, ASC about his experiences shooting his most recent film “HYBRID” with the RED digital cinema camera. I ask John about the level of training that was needed for himself and his crew and the kind of support he received from Toronto rental house PS Production Services. We go on to talk about the Cooke S4 lenses he used and his thoughts on how these lenses complimented shooting with RED. Next he tells us about shooting 4K RAW and what it is like reviewing his work using 4K stills on his MacBook Pro. Finally I ask him if and how he changed his working style shooting with RED. It’s a fascinating and informative talk for anyone who is interested in the “bleeding edge” of digital filmmaking.

Can you explain lighting through the lens?

Thanks Lawrence, It was nice of John and Yourself to mention PS and our services. We are trying to keep up with the technology, but our service support must be 100%.
Again great concept

“Lighting through the lens” is a phrase that refers to making lighting decisions based on what you see through the viewfinder of the camera as opposed to using a light meter and your own best judgement of what you actually see on the set. Many viewfinders differ in quality, and it is not always the most accurate representation of what will ultimately end up on the screen.

A very informative and useful set of interviews and in my opinion better than those on Red’s own site.
Thanks Guys!
